Hey all. A short chapter here, but it shows the stepping stones for the relationships. Still not sure what to do with Miss Fontaine yet. Have a good time reading!

The days after the Miss Junior DA duel was a blur to Mindy. She had told her friends that she had a date with Jaden, Alexis and Jasmine smiling at her. This led to the two asking what the plan was.

Mindy said that she was going to play it by ear.

The two nodded at that and helped her choose the outfit for the upcoming weekend. Friday couldn't pass soon enough for the Black haired girl. But come it soon did and it passed. Now Saturday dawned bright and clear, only a few puffy clouds off in the distance.

Mindy woke up at nine in the morning, nearly screaming in shock at how long she overslept. Hastily, she entered into the closet, Alexis and Jasmine watching with bemused looks. She came out wearing a Green Tee-shirt that had a band's name on it, tight blue jeans that only went to her ankles and her school boots. Seeing that, Jasmine asked why Mindy wore them.

The girl replied that she felt sexy in them and she didn't have her sneakers in yet. There was another week before they were due to arrive. She hurried out of the dorm, Alexis and Jasmine watching her go.

"What are we going to do if they end up falling for one another, Lex?"

"Wish them the best of luck, Jazz and try to find guys of our own..."

What went unsaid was how'd they ever look at another guy after what they had gone through.

Mindy ran up the walkway, managing to stay on her feet despite her heeled boots. She saw Jaden standing at the end of it. Coming closer, she gave a wave. Jaden saw her and waved back, eyes widening when she tripped suddenly. Faster then anyone could blink, the boy was right there, catching her in his arms. Wrapping her hands around his waist, she steadied herself, standing up.

"T-thanks...I know, I know, heels. I ordered some sneakers but they won't be here until next week." Mindy explained, seeing Jaden's look.

The boy nodded, drinking in the sight of the girl's clothes. He admitted that she cut a very fine figure in those clothing.

"You look extravagant, Mindy." Jaden complimented her, the girl blushing slightly at his honesty.

"Thanks. You clean up pretty nice too."

The boy had forgone his usual cloak and was wearing dark blue jeans, his Slifer Red Sneakers and a black shirt that showed off that he worked out. She looked at him and nodded at his abs. Looking down, the boy saw them and nodded to her. She ran a hand over the six pack, marveling at how firm they were.

"Wow, you work out a lot..."

Jaden smirked.

"As I told Miss Fontaine, a healthy body is needed to keep sharp in duels." Jaden said, chuckling at her blushing face. "I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to look at some movies that they're showing at the Amphitheater in the school. I want to hear what you think on my choices."

Already he was scoring points with Mindy. He was asking her what she wanted to see instead of dictating. Seeing him hand over his PDA to her, she skimmed the list. She was impressed; she thought that all he'd chose would be action flicks, but there were a few romance comedies too! Her eyes landed on one particular title and pointed at it.

"This one! I've been seeing a lot of raving reviews on this movie! How its the best out of all the winter flicks!"

Jaden looked at the title and grinned widely.

"Omega Game? I have too! Not seen it yet, but according to a lot of people, it lives up to the hype. What do you say we start heading over there? I can order the tickets as we walk."

Mindy nodded, handing him back his PDA. Offering his arm with a bow, Mindy was reminded of gentlemen of old. Giggling, she took the arm, enjoying the feeling of warmth that was spreading as they headed off.

Hours later

The two walked out of the Amphitheater, talking excitedly. The movie had been a massive hit with the two of them and now they could see why. The story, the characters, everything! Even the twist at the end had shocked them like everyone else but it was still well played. They threw out their empty popcorn and drinks that Jaden had paid for and turned their talk to the previews that they had seen prior to the movie.

"Ugh, did you SEE that Speedy movie?! What the actual fuck was the director on!? Speedy looked like a malformed child in a fur suit!" Mindy ranted, a closet Speedy the Road Runner fan. "I miss the old days when they had the entire Liberation Crew."

"Yeah, the way that Speedy's mouth moved. I'm going to have nightmares now..." Jaden said a tad disgusted.

The two soon turned to getting to know one another better as they walked back to the girls' dorm.

Jaden found out that Mindy was a Speedy fan, but she leaned more toward the early years of the Franchise when they had the Liberation Crew before the big scandal with Kendra Bender. She also loved books, from romance to fantasy if it had the right blend. She also enjoyed tennis and cooking, finding it relaxing to do.

The conversation turned to him. Admittedly, he didn't see a lot of cartoons or any shows, but there was one that stood out for him after he went pro. The Radicals, a show about two dishonored pilots becoming vigilantes to continue protecting their city. He hated that they cut the show so short, claiming that it was too dark and violent. Mindy admitted to seeing the show and while the plots were all over the place, the art style and character making was astounding.

One thing he liked to do to relax was listen to music, mostly classical up to Classic rock. He did like a few heavy metal bands, but the screamo bands were not his favorite.

Mindy told him that she liked pop and classic country, 'the good kind' she proclaimed.

Cashier, Furrow band, those had style and class to them, not the modern day country. He agreed with her on that! Too many country artists today focused on the crying and heartbreak.

All too soon, the two arrived at the girls dorm. Jaden blinked, shocked at how fast the time went. He let go of Mindy's hand, not even aware that he had grabbed hers.

"Well, that was fun."

"Yeah, I hope we can do it again, Jaden. I know its custom to kiss a girl, but given what happened..." Mindy said, trailing off.

Jaden nodded, settling for kissing the back of her hand. Mindy grinned, giving him a curtsy.

"I did have fun Jaden...but I still want Jasmine and Alexis to have a shot alright?"

"Of course. Have a good night, Mindy."

Jaden turned around and began his walk back to the Yellow dorm. Mindy walked in to see her two friends right there, looking expectant at her.

"So?" Jasmine asked.

Mindy took them to their shared room and told them everything. Their room was full of giggling and laughter.

It was a good way to end a perfect date.

Let's see if you guys can guess the Real Life franchise/names I just gave out in this chapter. Leave a review!
